Calculating damages is one of the most important steps of any personal injury case. Assessing damages answers the question: What is my personal injury case worth?

In order to fully and accurately assess damages, a personal injury lawyer will need to allocate significant time to investigating the cause of the incident and its effect on your life. A strong claim will be able to prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries and will provide enough evidence to support your right to maximum compensation.

Let’s look in more detail at how damages are assessed in a personal injury case.

When you are injured due to the negligent, reckless, or wrongful actions of another individual, you know that you need compensation for your damages. When you first meet with an attorney about your personal injury case, the concept of gross negligence will likely come up. But what exactly is gross negligence, and what does it mean for your case?

Let’s look closer at the definition of the term ‘gross negligence’ in Georgia and what that might mean for those who have been injured in Atlanta.

When you are injured in an accident or incident through no fault of your own, you have the legal right to pursue compensation from the at-fault party. This is most often accomplished via the filing of a personal injury lawsuit. A personal injury lawsuit might be the most appropriate course of action for your situation if you’ve been injured in a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall, or other type of preventable accident.

When a negligent party is responsible for injuring you in an accident, you might be considering taking legal action in the form of a personal injury claim. A legal claim could help you recover financial compensation for the damages they caused you, like medical bills, lost wages, and costs for pain and suffering. However, you might be hesitant to take action because of some misconceptions and myths that circulate around personal injury claims.

After you go to the hospital to get treated for an injury, it’s normal to receive a bill in the mail. But when the injury was the fault of another party and you’ve filed a personal injury lawsuit against them, you are fighting for that party to be responsible for paying your bills. Your lawsuit will take some time, though, so hospitals might send your outstanding medical bills to bill collectors.
